I had a hard time with this one. The story is good, very James Bond and black ops and all of that. The heroine was tough as nails and still vulnerable, likewise the hero. The villain was a dark as they come. But I had a really hard time getting into and sticking with the story. The writing was a little loosey-goosey in places and there was one spot where they were in a plane but "they were aware of the other people who might overhear them in the house." So maybe this is on the editor, but this book was only "OK" for me and not great. This is probably also a matter of subjectivity. It didn't hit me where I live.
